8 Weeks To Optimum Health - Week 2

Check your water. Contact your water company for contaminates or have it sent off to be tested. Do not drink chlorinated water. Drink filtered water or bottled water only.

Eat salmon once this week and broccoli twice this week. Choose wholegrain breads or cereals. Try something made with soy. Try to substitute green tea for coffee.

Add mixed carotenes to your supplements of Vitamins C & D3. Take 10,000 to 15,000 IU of beta-carotene with related compounds such as alpha-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin. The mixture must contain lycopene to give the full benefits.

Walk - 15 minutes. Add some hills, if possible.

Visit a park. Try a one day news fast - don't watch, listen, or read any news for a period of 24 hours. Continue with the breath observation for 5 minutes each day. For 1 minute, practice beginning your breath cycle with exhalation and ending with inhalation -- concentrate on this while you do the exercise.

Pay attention to mental imagery. What has strong emotional impact? How can you adopt them for healing visualization?

In order to be honest with you all, I have done week one several times, but never made it to week 2. Now starts the new ground. I plan to look for the Wild Alaskan salmon again this week, and make something with tofu. I have a wonderful cookbook for a vegetarian restaurant in Athens, GA called The Grit. They had wonderful food and used tofu in several of their dishes. The rest I'll figure out as I go along.
